• Before you plunge to buy a power generator, it is
  very crucial that you have a clear picture of
  your requirements.
• If you don't know what you need, you will end up
  frying the generator and your operations will
  come to an abrupt end.
• '10kva' is the apparent power of the generator.
• In order to understand if the generator will
  suffice your requirement or not, you will have to
  multiply the apparent power with power factor
  0.8(lag), as floodlights are inductive in nature.

• Hence, 8 kW is the real power of the genset you
  need.
• Also, please note that the power consumption of
  the floodlight isn't exceeding 7 kW because its
  always advised to have not utilise at least 10
  of the power, essentially to avoid overloading.
